.bin file

bbhcmike

I have just downloaded my first tv prog using a bit torrent client. The file has been stored as .bin and I can't get anything to recognise it. What do I do? I have a PC, not Mac by the way.

Thanks in advance....

a .bin file is usually a CD image.. if you have Nero you can burn it to CD / DVD using that,

Files are 750mb each, I think this is too large for cd, so are you saying that I can burn onto a dvd and this will be ok for viewing through a normal dvd player??

Even at 750Mb it might still be a CD image file I think. Depends on format, but it might play in DVD player if it is something like SVCD format

You need This to play .bin or any other video file on your pc hope this helps ( I know it will too) :T

I'd guess that the bin sould have an associated .cue file with it. 750Meg can easily fit on a CD if in Mode 2 (which would be VCD or SVCD format).

Also if you need to put a .bin file onto a cd and the file is 700 megs plus try using ashampoo movie shrink and burn 2

You can mount the cue file using a virtual cd drive which is normally downloaded with a bin file,

As mentioned already, these are an disk image file and 'instructions' to CD writings software on how to create a video CD

use ISObuster (https://www.isobuster.com) or Alcohol120%... no need to burn a CD
